Hi, I'm trying to come with some sort of transform node that can have
multiple transform matrices influencing it's own translate,rotate,and
scale attributes, but still allows for control, animation, and
preservation of the user-intended position of that transform.
Basically it's a
one of the hazards of this work.

Let me know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can come up with.
Also note that everything I'm doing will be open source so you have to be
okay with that :-)

How does the `ikHandle` command set up the initial pole vector? It
seems to take the vector between the start joint and it's position and
cast a vector orthogonal to it in the direction of the mid joint. I've

Thanks!

What are you overloading the *clientData part of the function with?
I'm not sure how it works in python, but I had a similar problem with
creating
a MNodeMessage::addNodeDirtyCallback in c++. I had my function wanting
to access a pointer
to my node but had not overloaded the callback with that
suspect it may be buggy.
i've been passing None into *clientData, but i've tried a few
different things there, all to no avail.

It's not a new idea to deform a mesh using a transform riveted to that
mesh. However I was wondering if one could do the same without
transforms. That is to say, something that's a cross between a skin
cluster and a wrap deformer. I was thinking of using MItMeshFaceVertex
to build a transformation
.

I'm attempting on writing a deformer similar to a skinCluster, but with a
spline-style deformation. As the spline is generated procedurally using
joint matrices for the edit points, I was wondering if storing those
spline matrices inside a MPxData plug would improve the speed of the
deformer
. Is there any way to preserve MPxData attributes which are arrays?
